♛ 7th Curious Thought [Video]

[madcuriosity]

[Alice is beaming proudly as she looks at the bracelet. The more observant will notice a slight scratch on her cheek and nose. Nonetheless, she looks very pleased with herself.]

It took me all day but I did it! I did it I did it! [She's bouncing.]

I made myself a pet! Oh but not any sort of pet! No no, I made Marigold!

Would you all like to meet him? I thought it would be a much nicer topic than the gloomy sorts people have been commenting on. [Because dead people? No, thank you. She has had enough of all of that.]

Comments

[madcuriosity]

Not seems to be, is! I'd never make something mean... well, not on purpose... I would never really... I wouldn't want to hurt anyone.

[littlesoul]

[That makes her laugh.] Is. He is. Sorry.

[madcuriosity]

[She smiles.] Much better then! Apology accepted, Miss River! And yes, Marigold is very safe.

[littlesoul]

[She nods, smiling.] Good. [She waves to Marigold.] Probably one of the best to watch out for you.

[madcuriosity]

Mnn yes, especially since he sleeps in bed right next to me! Better than any watch dog... oh! Not that watch dogs are bad, dogs are quite lovely in fact, but well... [Where was she going with this, she wasn't even sure River had a dog.] Mnn, well in any case! I hope you come by sometime soon, Miss River, then you, Marigold, and I can play!

[littlesoul]

[That makes her smile, laughing a little.] I'll come by soon, promise.

[madcuriosity]

Actually, I'm going to be moving in with Miss Tardis and the Doctors, I thought, since we're room neighbors I would tell you. You can come and visit me there.

[littlesoul]

[She smiles wide.] Oh! Sounds wonderful. I hope you enjoy yourself.

[madcuriosity]

I will visit you too. So you aren't lonely, Miss River.

[littlesoul]

[She nods.] And I'll find you. Make sure you're okay.

[madcuriosity]

Well, it will be very easy to find me, when I'm at home. I live in the Thor district and our house is very big with a bright blue door! You can visit me whenever you want, Miss River. I know the Doctors will love to see you too.

[littlesoul]

[She's trying not to show it but she's tensing a little every time Alice says 'Doctors'. She wants to visit, wants to see the girl and make sure she's all right, but doctors scare her. She has yet to hear that the Doctor is a different sort, as she has yet to be introduced to any of them by name.] I will, I promise. Come and visit and we'll play. Do all sorts of fun things.

[madcuriosity]

And you can meet those I live with! Like Miss Tardis, and the Roman, and the Doctors, and all the others. Actually, Miss River, I haven't met them either yet.

[littlesoul]

Meet all of them, everyone. [She grins, a little, though it's shaky.]

[madcuriosity]

... Miss River? Is something wrong?

[littlesoul]

{She finds the words hard to say, frozen between her tongue and her teeth. She settles on just shaking her head, pushing forth a reassuring smile.]

[madcuriosity]

[Alice can't help but not believe it, but she thinks it might be best not to press.] Well, still, I want you to visit. You'll really like it, Miss River. I'm going to make a big garden! Do you know how to garden? [When in doubt, change the topic!]

[littlesoul]

[She tilts her head to the side for a moment, considering the question. Then she shakes her head.] No, never done that, not really.

[madcuriosity]

Would you like to learn? I'm going to make a garden. I would really like the help.

[littlesoul]

[She nods, smiling a little more genuinely now.] Sure! I'd love to help.

[madcuriosity]

You'll love it, Miss River. Gardening is very calming and the flowers love a new home.

[littlesoul]

They will. [She seems to get excited by the idea. I can't wait to help.

[madcuriosity]

Do you have a favorite flower, Miss River? We can plant them in the garden, call it "River's corner."

[littlesoul]

[She shakes her head.] Maybe we can plant all kinds and I'll find one.

[madcuriosity]

A splendid idea! [She wonders if the Doctors are allergic... she hopes not.] My favorite is the stargazer lily. Have you ever seen it?
